Shower (as opposed to grower) experiences

Gold Member

tapster: I would like to get some feedback specifically from the showers here in the forum about their experiences. I guess there is a difference in the way someone with a large flaccid dick has to handle himself and his environment as opposed to a grower, who will probably have a different take on things. Let me explain:

As a shower, there are obivous clothing / underwear issues, which are already being discussed.

Then there might be the erection angle. For instance, I have never had an angle of less than 90° , i.e. the angle is smaller the closer your dick rises towards your stomach when hard. I have noticed this also with numerous hugely hung porn stars, so I appear to be not alone. I don't know whether this is to do with the weight of the flaccid penis or what.

Equally, I have seen many growers appear to have much harder erections than showers (although I take this view only from str8 and gay porn clips).

Daily life. Sitting on toilets, undressing in gyms with a huge tool floppin out, etc.

Sex... Are your partners especially turned on by you being a shower? What reactions do you get (comment prompted by JohnTheHorse - thanks).

So, let's hear it from the showers. Would a grower perhaps start a like topic?

I have a very large flaccid cock ( 7x6 ) and a huge pair of nuts in a big sac. Flaccid I look kind of weighted down or something. For me support and flopping around are big issues. I like to wear nice cool comfy briefs to keep me firmed up and stuff.

As for erection angle, I totally agree Tapster - I never have been less than 90 degrees either. If 90 degrees is straight out than I am probably more like 100, that is I stick straight out and down slightly. I do think that it is due to my size and the weight of my cock.

Not sure about showers/growers having harder erections than not. I get hard erectons. Rock hard. I think that people who don't have even bigger cocks than I do. IE too big to fill up with blood which makes a good hard on.

You know, it could be--------that the larger fellas really have their own definitions of "rock hard".

Like many of our members, I know what my absolute "hard" is and I've seen that degree of what's called "hard" in many of the same net pix, vids, etc. the rest of you members here have seen. We larger guys might indeed have some powerful hard erections, but perhaps not quite like those of other men who are nearer average.

I dunno. I think, like in so very many ways of rationalizing (when it comes to penile matters we tend to lose track of what the definition of "normal" and "average" is around this cyberspace "land of the big".

A fella at 5.5 to 6 inches and a girth of say near 5 inches
(commonly called the average man) typically is going to have a really rigid "rock hard" erection....unbendable (usually) and to even suggest bending such a size penis in any direction is going to prove downright uncomfortable! Yet, given this (average) dimension when using it in coitus (that's SEX, folks) that "rock hard erection" wont' typically prove all that painful to a partner necessarily. Yet, that same, RIGID, unbendable quality for a man who extends 10, 11, 12, inches (or beyond?) is going to feel like a telephone pole poking, prodding, and threatening! And, undeniably, it could prove painful to both partners, almost for sure.

I believe many of us (those in excess of say 8 or 9 inches in length and with a greater girth--over 6 inches) will concede, (if we really contemplate this truthfully!) that our rock hard erections just MAY be different in the absolute rigidness from say the average man. Good thing, too! The more flexible, "bendable" quality makes using the larger one more enjoyable for both....more "pliability" (?) to help introduce it and help control the pleasure factor during sex.

Alot of all this stuff is purely physiological I would think.
The sheer size of the flesh we're talking about (in a large penis) is something to consider when factoring in the amount of blood required to fill it and "spring it to action". And, then-- there's the matter of getting it to rise upward....very much indeed like a plastic garden hose! Ever try this? Fill a vinyl garden hose with water (plugged at the end with a sprayer but in the CLOSED position) and then squeeze that hose about a foot or so from the end. The trapped water in that short section of hose will force the remaining hose length (to the end with the sprayer attachment) to "rise" and often "bounce" around. --Same principle with the erect penis...particularly a larger one. The "droopy, more flimsy" nature of that garden hose with the trapped water resembles a longer erect penis in many ways. Hence, (and quite often) there's no way to always expect an erect larger penis "to stand at full attention" like the more typical average sized ones...at least the super big lengths of 9 inches and above. -Too heavy a mass of flesh (with no reinforcing bone or cartilage to help give it strength!).

Most of the bigger fellas (from those pix I have seen) typically show either straight-out erections or
"slightly droopy". Nothing wrong with that. All things considered (i.e. again the physics)--that's how it seems it would HAVE to be. And, age will also (sooner or later) cause further changes in erection strength for many of us larger men....So you younger (larger) fellas around here who are enjoying your superior "diamond cutting quality rock hards" right now ---don't get too cocky!" Things could change someday.

One other note (after this unexpectedly LONG post)--
many of the fellas who prove to be the "showers" are often at "semi- status" many times. That (fact!) truly IS difficult to tell by a quick glance in the locker room (and really know for sure) when that is the case.

--Whether he's "completely soft" in that particular state of being (or not?) is something one can't easily ask another fella, you know......... "politely" that is!

Come to think of it though---having read from some of you members around here....

There is a lot in what you say ... although I'm not sure that those of us lpsg regulars who know and love you would agree that it was an "unexpectedly LONG post"

Although I agree with the guts of what you say, I think I might put the emphasis a little differently. I am a 'shower' too. at about 7.5 ins on average soft, sometimes less, sometimes more, though I have noticed a tendency to gain in soft size and weight as I have got older ... loss of elasticity in overstretched tissues, maybe? But I am certainly capable of rock hard erections, even at my advancing age. I sometimes get the less than fully hard sort; but at other times I still get the "more than hard" sort, where there is an appreciable further gain in rigidity, dimensions and strength, almost to bursting. I hold to what I said in another thread, that the healthier I am the stronger and more frequent my erections.

I think the variation in quality (and size) of erections according to degree of arousal and general vitality may be a function of being oversized -- but if there is any big guy here who thinks he is doomed to erection troubles as he gets older ... take heart.

'Sure glad you've put some minds at ease here!

I didn't mean to imply that ALL the guys enjoying life now will see a change downhill later on...(i.e.doomed)

I did say (rather flippanty, perhaps?) that things COULD change.

I recall several members here (the exceptionally big members, especially!) who have commented on diminishing hardness and what to do about it. Assuring (and maintaining) good circulation seems imperative, of course.

Max, you've made excellent points though, in mentioning good health and the kind of stimuli that prompts an erection. And, like you (since we're close to one another in age and size), I too, have noticed things changing abit in the flaccid state (bigger) as I've gotten older. I attribute it to the elasticity factor and...plain ole gravity! ;D

belcurv: this is the bain of my existence
I can't believe how small my cock shrinks when flaccid--of course, that's partly because it's so cold here in MInnesota, but... I HATE it
My wife insists it looks rather big flaccid, but she sees it when I'm warm at home, or relaxed. A gay professor who used to see me at the college locker room all the time made a remark once to her that I looked big. It must have been the hot water because normally I'm totally a grower, not a shower. I would almost rather be 6 inches hard but show really big than shrink to nothing when soft and be above average when hard!
